And yet another one gets convicted.....

The court has announced the verdict and yet again sentenced one of the cousins to life imprisonment, as he was found guilty of being single in his late 20s. He gets married late this year.

This unequitable judgement has instilled a sense of fear in most of the single ones - nearing 30s, in the family. The until - now - spared - ones in the family seek refuge under various claims viz. Sainthood, Chronic - Bachelorhood, Homosexuality & Impotency, but the last two claims have been written off as null and void as the persons claiming immunity under those two claims have been found in compromising positions with members of the opposite sex.

Sainthood and Chronic Bachelorhood have not been impeached as yet because the court is cognizant of the fact that these two claims provide just a temporary aegis and not a life-long cover. Further, the persons seeking indemnity under this claim neither seem to be heading anywhere near to being saints nor have they shown any aversion towards the opposite sex.

So, it seems that there is no escaping the court's judgement and that the punishment is inevitable for every member of the family. But, all is not lost still. In few years' time, a Gladiator will rise and battle it out till his last breath, to avenge the punishment imposed on his comrades and the sentence being served by them.
